RITCHIE MAY CAL FARMAID PARLEY Republican Governors Disin- clined to Split Party if Veto Again Rules. BY OWEN L. SCOTT. Special Dispatch to The Star. MACKINAC ISLAND, Mich., July standing result of the con- ference of governors ending here to- day was the unmistakable evidence that representatives of the Middle as determined as ever to of the arm_relief. jon there was evidence I sast is becoming more con- ciliatory toward the Western posit The governors from agricultural States were unanimous in_ their ex- pressions of favor for the agricultural program they backed in the last Con- But equally definite was the they made to questions concern- the prospect of a farm belt politi- revolt against the Republican hould the present farm plan ced again by a veto. All ex- d the opinion that regardless of some of the fight for relief and Middle-Western presidential can- lines would remain in- pres; East. eresting fact was de- veloped that some Eastern governors had become quite attracted to the Middle Western farm equalization pro- gram and expressed sympathy for the position taken. They explained that the Western view had never before heen presented to them so thoroughly. Albert C. Ritchie of Maryland d that a conference be called and Western representa- tives to thrash out an agricultural plan agreeable to all sections, and this suggesti 1w indorsed by Middle West govern Gov. Ritchie may take the initiative in this matter. “While naturally we are wrapped up heart and soul in the present pro- gram for farm legislation as adopted by the last Congress, still we are not extremists and would not be inter- ested in a third_ party movement should we suffer defeat through an-i other presidential veto,” said Adam McMullen, Governor of Nebraska. “We believe in working through government. Inside of the. party intend now to oppose the renomination of President Coolidge, 1ut should our fight fail and he re- ceive another nomination, then as Re- publicans we would work for his elec- tion. It is not our intention tu dis- rupt the party, but we do intend to, fight for a recognition of the rights of | agriculture to a parity with industry, labor and finance. Stand of Minnesota. Gov. Thedoroe Christianson of Min- mesota takes about the same stand. “Minnesota, like other Middle West- ern States, is vitally interested in see- ing the principles of the McNary- Haugen bill enacted into law,” he said. “There is a great deal of sentiment in The fu the State for Frank O. Lowden as a candidate for President. But Minne- sota always has been for the Repub- lican ~candidate for President and) would not be likely to bolt the party! even though Mr. Coolidge should be| renominated.” Gov. Hammill of Towa refused to mention names, but reiterated that if!| present leaders in the Government| cannot demonstrate their ability to . meet the agricultural problem, they. should make way for those that can., Gov. Ben S. Paulen of Kansas de- clared the people of his State had. been “disgusted” by the President’s veto of the McNary-Haugen bill. He told the writer there was a great deal of sentiment for Mr. Lowdn'in Kan- sas, but little sentiment to punish the party should the Middle Western can- didates and program be defeated. New England Relents. Up in North Dakota Goyv. A. G. Sor- lie says the people were solidly behind the McNary-Haugen bill. But they now are out of their revolting mood, and while unfriendly to the President for his veto they do not intend to start any presidential revolt such as that which grew out of the Non-Parti- san League. “The people of the Middle West want farm relief, they are entitled to it and are going to get it,” Gov. Small of Tilinois said in voleing his position, Gov, Jackson of Indiana lined up with the other Middle Westerners. New England gave evidence of loosening up in its relentless opposi- tion to farm legislation through a talk by Gov. Brewster of Maine, head of the New England conference, who said that spedkers from the Middle ‘West had placed a new light on the problem. He said that under present methods of marketing agriculture was not farming, but gambling, and he said that he as an Easterner was pre- pared to go a good way in blazing new trails in order to place farming on a plane with industry. N There was a regular get-together spirit in the remarks of the gov- ernors. Willingness of the Middle Westerners to voice outspoken sup- port for Government aid to a mer- chant marine helped to bring the sec. tions into closer accord. —_— Nearly 70,000 gallons of ginger ale were brought into this country in the past year.
